Character Counts! of District 30

Character Counts CoalitionIn 2023, Character Counts! of District 30 celebrated 28 years of promoting the Six Pillars of Character.  

Character Counts exists as a community-wide effort to foster civility, community engagement, and leadership in our children based on the Six Pillars of Character: 

  • Trustworthiness
  • Respect
  • Responsibility
  • Fairness
  • Caring
  • Citizenship

CHARACTER COUNTS: 

  • Develops and communicates opportunities for students to demonstrate, deepen, and extend their understanding of the six pillars.
  • Publicly recognizes and celebrates students who demonstrate the six pillars. 
  • Builds connections throughout the community to broaden awareness of and integrate a common language and understanding of the six pillars.

We value:

  • The children within our communities.
  • Bringing the Six Pillars of Character Counts alive for our students and community. 
  • Collaboration across our Villages, Schools, and Local Organizations.

We will succeed when:

  • We integrate and connect the Six Pillars of Character Counts into our schools’  social-emotional learning efforts.
  • We generate and leverage a common language and set of expectations for character.
  • Related agencies (villages, schools, and local organizations) commit to the Six Pillars of Character Counts.
  • We infuse the Six Pillars of CHARACTER COUNTS into the culture of our community.
  • Adults in our community consistently model good character.
